This was an amazing show; having lost my dad the same way and age, fuck it got me - but so inspiring to hear what Kevin made of that challenge. thank you so much for getting these stories out there :D
Fouad deserves a lot of credit for how well he interviews these body builders etc. He asks the right questions and asks them in a sincere and intelligent way and it makes the interviews unbelievably interesting and keeps you fixated all the way through, incredible pod cast and Levrone seems like an incredibley humble and enlightened human being
@@StoneyAsh40 basically he said that kevin was a very overated bodybuilder and that they should never bring up the fact that he was supposed to be Mr olympia.
Antonio Marcus it was more like he recognises that he was a great bodybuilder and all but there’s no way he deserves to be compared to people like Phil
@@adrieel when he's been asked if Kevin deserves to be considered a Hall of fame bb, Iain clearly said no. There are a lot of bodybuilders that won mr olympia that also don't come close to Phil. I remember Iain saying that in 92, Kevin looked like a middle eastern bodybuilder from now days and that he never had legs and back. He was wrong. The problem was, Ronnie was too good and complete for anyone to come close to him.
@@antoniomarcus283 and he was absolutely right, Iain is a smart guy and I agree with most of the things he says, the only time he fucked up was when he lied about Phil Heath yelling at the backstage.
You and Kevin hit the nail on the head regarding Joe being the influence to the Top IFBB Hall of Famers and holding them all to a Platinum Gold Standard. He was absolutely the reason all of his athletes were able to focus 100% and bring the very best physically possible. So much respect for the Godfather of Bodybuilding. Forever RIP, Joe❤🙏🏼
I learned more about Kevin in this than any other interview I've seen. Fouad is gaining that Joe Rogan ability to bring it out of everyone, just the comfort level, and the personal approach. Every one of the RBPs get better and better.
Hell yeah! I met Kevin and Luke at a seminar a year or so back. Kevin threw the seminar onto Luke who was only there to train with Ben and James that day 😅
@@thegreatangel8251 I remember luke being so humble when I spoke to him afterwards. I think Kevin was a little tired off the backend of his promo tour he didn’t seem to cheerful to be there but luke was a real champ and made it all worthwhile
@@aaronbrooke-naylor3389 yeah for sure man. I met Luke a few times at muscleworks. He was always so humble and so keen to interact. It was a huge honor just having opportunities to speak to him. After that first time I met him I became a huge fan and I started watching all his videos, all the podcasts etc. I really miss that guy. Yeah Kevin was cool, he did seem a little burnt out from the tour.
Watched many Kevin interviews but this is the 1st on his upbringing and goes deep. Much more comfortable in front of the camera. I always well up on it but I like it and makes me feel alive. Love the RUSH reference. DW are amazing. Made beautiful and insane Neil Peart set's.. May he RIP.
Kevin should write or book or do a documentary about his career and life. I feel like there’s so much more about his story and he was just starting to open up. Definitely in my opinion one of the most thought provoking rbp episodes I’ve listened to. Thank you bro.
Something I will touch on , everyone who steps on an Olympia stage is one of the sports greats, Kevin also conducts himself as such a gentleman. Which is more admirable than anything
So excited for this interview. I’m 22 now, at 3-5 I recall my uncle and grandpa (bodybuilders). They had Kevin’s photos in their gym. Huge inspiration for me👊🏽
This is great. I know he's busy with his John Deere zero turn mowers, gardening, and sewing duffel bags-but let's get uncle Evan back on here. We miss the guy
Awesome interview. I didn’t realize how many different facets Kevin has and his life stories that make him such an inspiration beyond bodybuilding. And he is so humble and down to earth. Refreshing!
I was already in awe of Kevin growing up. I was born in 91 and when I first got into bodybuilding, Kevin was IT. That was bodybuilding for me. He'll always be my favorite. Especially now after listening to this! 👍🤙
I hope Kevin knows how happy he made sooo many people when he came back. Nobody cared how he placed, we just wanted to see him on the O stage one more time!!!
I cant imagine losing both parents at pivotal times in my life. Much respect to Kevin for sharing that and how he grew from that and made it into a positive force in his life. I agree with Fouad that Kevin has a different energy about him and now I can see why. Great podcast!!!
This is the best show ever. Kevin was like a statue, UNBELIEVABLE physique and the way he poses, lights out man.. crazy bodybuilder. We done fuad great podcast.
What a true champion. Life continues and growth follows. Thank you for sharing your true character with us Kevin. I liked your physique when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s when magazines were the only ways to find out about bodybuilding. I got back into it about 5 years ago and seeing you come back was neat. As a 45 year old now I appreciate more getting to hear about your attitude over the years, including the comeback. I feel like I picked up with bodubuilding where I left off and that you have been there throughout. You are a good man. Thanks. Good interview Fouad.
I'm glad Kevin found something he's so passionate about after bodybuilding in music, you can really tell how passionate he is when he lights up talking about it. Kevin talking about making his pain manifest outwardly is something a lot of bodybuilders can relate to I think. It's just something I've noticed is that many bodybuilders have had a major event in their life that led to them being bodybuilders, in a lot of ways we were broken and bodybuilding made us whole. Thank you for sharing Kevin and your perspective on life. Thank you Fouad for all that you do, really do look forward to any of your podcasts. You've come a very long way with your podcast, you should feel proud.
This is how bodybuilding podcasts should look like. Excellent questions, bodybuilding LEGENDS as guests. Fouad you are doing great! One of the best bodybuilding channels right now. Keep going strong!
What a fantastic and respectful discussion regarding todays bodybuilders. Kevin is such a man of class, I respect the way he handled this discussion. It's such a tough position bodybuilders are in these days, having to compete on size while trying to remain aesthetic and not blowing your shit out. I know guys love the era of the "mass monsters" that Ramy is bringing, but I for one hope that we find that one Olympian with shape and aesthetics bad ass enough to win. I dunno, I go back and forth though tho, seeing a 300lb shredded beast is also pretty cool.
Man my respect for Kevin quadrupled. Suffering is a teacher and embracing it and then making yourself suffer is something powerful. He reminds me of a bodybuilding marcus aurelius. A true stoic. Thanks for the content Fouad
Man what a great podcast Kevin levrone !! What humble man he was my idol when I was Bodybuilding your podcast just get better and better I’m addicted to him please never stop them
Best podcast ive seen with Kevin. I met him in Holland when i did william bonacs show. He was in the corridors helping guys with their posing. Definitely one of the best to do it.
Kevin made bodybuilding electrifying, a true Legend of Bodybuilding, one of the greatest of all time, thank you for making bodybuilding exciting champ.
Incredible podcast with Kevin Levrone !!! Thank you Fouad ... we got the chance to see the openness, the sincerity and the aura of a great gentleman !!!
BB&B with Iain and Kevin please make it happen! Kevin was always my favorite bodybuilder growing up, sad story always really respected him. Fouad is the perfect host lets his guests finish what they say perfect back and forth.
My favorite bodybuilder and he’s poses is just like he say is so emotional the make you smile crying and no one couldn’t do the way Kevin did. Great interview bro
I have seen a hundred interviews with Kevin, this was the most raw, very nice job with your questions. You enabled the discussion to honor the man just not the bodybuilder. Really well done
It's so interesting how Kevin had such a Stoic attitude throughout this whole podcast, but as soon as Fouad mentioned music, Kevin lit up and you could see the excitement come out. As a viewer, that was really cool to see. Awesome interview Fouad!
My apologies to everyone for not removing the overlay when we looked at Kevin’s photos. My bad.
Don't worry Fouad, you're doing God's work!
Fouad❤️
Amazing podcast brother. As usual. You know that.
This was an amazing show; having lost my dad the same way and age, fuck it got me - but so inspiring to hear what Kevin made of that challenge. thank you so much for getting these stories out there :D
No worries.
I appreciate you having me on your show. And thank you to everyone who has left all of these nice comments. I appreciate you all. 🙏🏼❤️
you are a legend
Thank you for everything Kevin.
You carry yourself like a true professional and a legend. This was a fantastic chat between two different generations. Amazing.
Thanks for making the time Kev. Anytime you want to come on to discuss bbing, life or music I’m in!
Made my day! Forever my inspiration
Oh man Iains gonna be excited to see this
he'll probably find the podcast overrated 😆
Lmao
I wasn’t able to hear what Iain, said what was it
@@StoneyAsh40 In Iain's opinion, Levrone was kinda overrated.
@@divinethug1 you are being very charitable my friend, Iain was waaaayyyyy more blunt about it 😅
What a wonderful mature and serene person Levrone is.After everything is done,what remains is the soul,and Kevin has a surplus of that!
You’ve really built this podcast from the ground up Fouad, the show quality and caliber of guests is amazing.
Thank you
You can see why he’s so popular in bodybuilding not just the physique but his aura/personality. Great podcast mate
Fouad deserves a lot of credit for how well he interviews these body builders etc. He asks the right questions and asks them in a sincere and intelligent way and it makes the interviews unbelievably interesting and keeps you fixated all the way through, incredible pod cast and Levrone seems like an incredibley humble and enlightened human being
Thanks David that means a lot!
I like the way he reads half of the stupidest question ever asked before saying “this is a dumb question”.
It was cool to see how alive Kevin got when taking about music
Yess! I loved that
Does Iain know this is happening?! 😂🤪
What did Iain say? I never heard what it was
@@StoneyAsh40 basically he said that kevin was a very overated bodybuilder and that they should never bring up the fact that he was supposed to be Mr olympia.
Antonio Marcus it was more like he recognises that he was a great bodybuilder and all but there’s no way he deserves to be compared to people like Phil

The Maryland Muscle Machine!!
Kevin telling stories is one of the most inspirational and humbling things to listen to, he should be Olympia ambassador
Kevin lookin pissed “where the fool iain at?!?!”
lol
Kevin placed second in Finland in his first mr o next to Dorian. What's Ian's placings again so far ?
The amount of legends coming on this podcast🔥
Yeah fouads the legend 😉
@@heavymetalfitness2091 lol not gonna argue with that🙌
Kevin simply had the best shoulders I've ever seen! But overall his physique was just unreal. He was an absolutely beautiful sculpture of a human!
Late here but respect 🙏🏼 thanks Fouad and Kevin for being genuine and helping the sport, truly motivational 💪🏼
The legend Levrone !
The most gracefull and humble man . Thank you Fouad for this great interview ! 👍👍👍
i love this podcast so much, Levrone is such a legend
You and Kevin hit the nail on the head regarding Joe being the influence to the Top IFBB Hall of Famers and holding them all to a Platinum Gold Standard. He was absolutely the reason all of his athletes were able to focus 100% and bring the very best physically possible. So much respect for the Godfather of Bodybuilding. Forever RIP, Joe❤🙏🏼
So happy to see this. Something about Kevin Levrone, his posing and presence. So awesome.
when kevin talks about how he prepped he seems to have "Vietnam Flashbacks" . Dude was fucking intense when he was all in
I learned more about Kevin in this than any other interview I've seen. Fouad is gaining that Joe Rogan ability to bring it out of everyone, just the comfort level, and the personal approach. Every one of the RBPs get better and better.

Hell yeah! I met Kevin and Luke at a seminar a year or so back. Kevin threw the seminar onto Luke who was only there to train with Ben and James that day 😅
Muscleworks Orpington?
@@thegreatangel8251 yeah nov/dec 2019 I think
@@aaronbrooke-naylor3389 yeah I was there too!
@@thegreatangel8251 I remember luke being so humble when I spoke to him afterwards. I think Kevin was a little tired off the backend of his promo tour he didn’t seem to cheerful to be there but luke was a real champ and made it all worthwhile

Yeah Kevin was cool, he did seem a little burnt out from the tour.
Kevin is one of the best shampion ever ever in the bodybuilding world. Respect brother.
Kevin has always been one of my favorite bodybuilders and had one of my favorite physiques
Living legend. The way he views bodybuilding and the feelings around it is really something. He went full Roman Fritz for those 12 weeks.
Watched many Kevin interviews but this is the 1st on his upbringing and goes deep. Much more comfortable in front of the camera. I always well up on it but I like it and makes me feel alive. Love the RUSH reference. DW are amazing. Made beautiful and insane Neil Peart set's.. May he RIP.
A podcast with Dorian Yates would be great.
Too busy doing DMT and fighting aliens from another dimension in his astral form
@@kristiankingston5547 baaaahahahahahahwhq
It's a podcast, not an interview
@@ShadowDancerr I bet you’re popular
@@kristiankingston5547 Where would I be popular? Popularity is irrelevant
Kevin should write or book or do a documentary about his career and life.
I feel like there’s so much more about his story and he was just starting to open up.
Definitely in my opinion one of the most thought provoking rbp episodes I’ve listened to.
Thank you bro.
Something I will touch on , everyone who steps on an Olympia stage is one of the sports greats, Kevin also conducts himself as such a gentleman. Which is more admirable than anything
One of the best interviews you’ve done Fouad 💪🏻
So excited for this interview. I’m 22 now, at 3-5 I recall my uncle and grandpa (bodybuilders). They had Kevin’s photos in their gym. Huge inspiration for me👊🏽
By far the best uncrowned Mr Olympia
A living legend...he was my favorite bodybuilder growing up!
He's a very serious guy I don't think he understands some of fuads humor but still incredible motivation great stuff I watched the whole thing!
This is great. I know he's busy with his John Deere zero turn mowers, gardening, and sewing duffel bags-but let's get uncle Evan back on here. We miss the guy
Good idea!
Evan, Iain and James for 2hrs would be crazy inspiring I’m sure
Kevin definitely should have wo 2 Olympias!
Iain better call in on this one 😂
What did Iain say?
@@StoneyAsh40 chris is going to open
🤣 😂 start 💩
Favorite bodybuilder of all time Kevin is an animal
Awesome interview. I didn’t realize how many different facets Kevin has and his life stories that make him such an inspiration beyond bodybuilding. And he is so humble and down to earth. Refreshing!
I am legit in tears Fouad THANK YOU. What an amazing podcast and thank you for "keeping it real" on your show.
*inserts unfunny comment about Iain
Idk man,they are funny to me
@@Msreesaranyan I mean true most are I just couldn’t think of a funny one to say
Lmao fouad liked this. Prolly feels offended on behalf of Iain
El Rey con la corona del pueblo y no del poder. Gracias Kevin por tanto, que Dios te bendiga como siempre ❤️
I was already in awe of Kevin growing up. I was born in 91 and when I first got into bodybuilding, Kevin was IT. That was bodybuilding for me. He'll always be my favorite. Especially now after listening to this! 👍🤙
Really wholesome seeing Kevin so passionate about music.
Loved hearing from Kevin hes a great honest guy willing to help anyone if they asked . One of the greats
I hope Kevin knows how happy he made sooo many people when he came back. Nobody cared how he placed, we just wanted to see him on the O stage one more time!!!
Nice job Fouad. Kevin really came out of his shell when you brought up the music. It was a really noticeable excitement. 👍
That's probably one of your best podcasts ever o.g. Kevin went deep inside his psyche. Never new about his childhood. Great job!🙏🏼💪🏼🏋🏽♂️👍🏼
What a nice guy Kevin is. thanx Fouad.
I really loved his wisdom...the mind of a man who has been facing the darkness but kept his eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel...
Kevin Levrone is the most genuine guy. Very humble !! This is one of my favorite podcasts You’ve ever done. Keep it up Fouad!!
Respect to Kevin and Fouad!...becoming more and more of a fan of Fouad.
👊🏽
I cant imagine losing both parents at pivotal times in my life. Much respect to Kevin for sharing that and how he grew from that and made it into a positive force in his life. I agree with Fouad that Kevin has a different energy about him and now I can see why. Great podcast!!!
You’re getting legends on the show man. Sooner or later we’re gonna see Dorian and Ronnie in here I’m betting
Dorian would be awesome on a bro chat I feel 🤣
@@SBLifts he would be talking MADDD shit 😂
Dorian would just talk shit about current pros. 😂🤷🏻♂️
Ronnie Coleman would be awesome to have on the podcast.
This is the best show ever. Kevin was like a statue, UNBELIEVABLE physique and the way he poses, lights out man.. crazy bodybuilder. We done fuad great podcast.
I could listen to kevin for hours
This is THE one I've been waiting for - thank you for all the great content!

Dude this is one of the best podcast I’ve ever heard! I love levrone
The music section was really cool. You don't get a lot of interviews like that
In the 90's I read most of the magazines, but now being able to watch and listen, it's truly enjoyable especially when done this well. Thanks again.👍👍

This man is humble, inspiring and a true class act.....One of the best podcasts yet....
🙏🏽
Kevin, the greatest of all time. Thanks for every thing.
Excellent interview, much respect to Levrone
This by far is the best Real Bodybuilding Podcast you’ve done, we now know the Real Kevin, his heart, his mindset and his life....really great.
Great interview. Kevin was such an honest and humble person in this interview. No insecure bullshit, straight up honest views and feelings.
Thank you Kevin and Fouad. 😀

The talk about death and his mindset was fascinating. Very cool talk, I enjoy when conversations go deep. Great episode!!!!

Great interview bro
I found this episode 2 years late ! Kevin is by far one of Greats ! And a great human being !
